Each member of this fantastic group brings so much musical history to the table it boggles the mind. You can tell from the get-go they truly enjoy working together...fantastic musicianship and awesome stagecraft!

I grew up on Yes, ELP, Genesis, Crimson, Floyd etc. In '82 @ 16yrs old I was finally allowed to go to a 'real' rock concert. That happened to be Asia's first show in the US. Flying Colors is like a modern version of Asia for me. ;) Though at times Casey's vocals (the one member I had no experience with before) sound too much like Coldplay for my taste. Overall still a thumbs up.

It would be great if more people realized what music is. Everyone in this group has amazing history of great bands. Too bad any decent Prog. group has to go to Europe to find an audience. The US is only Country and Rip-Off Rap. I have Sirius/XM and so rarely hear anything like this. Although I found out about Spock's Beard from one late night listen. And from then on I followed all involved from Neal to NDV. Also a big fan of the late Kevin Gilbert. another loss of a potentially great talent.

The mix of prog, pop, jazz fusion, metal and rock created with the genius of five musical virtuosos guided by the amazing Bill Evans makes for an incredibly fine record! For the musical connoisseur this is a must have! Take a listen and enjoy for a lifetime...
